The adventure continues! Great to see some of the same waters, and even campsites, from my kayaking years. It always amazes me how different a place can seem depending on the weather. Some crossings and roundings I suspect are never easy - Cape Caution comes to mind. I had to leave at 3 AM to get a calm enough patch of weather to get around it.
Yes, the mirror was initially to see logs, rocks, and crab pot buoys, but by the end I used it almost constantly for steering to distant landmarks. Thanks for following the story!
@@Wayward_Waterbird I row a 16.5 foot melonseed in Puget Sound, before that a 15 foot guide boat, always used a bicycle mirror on my hat, worked great. Impressed btw with your navigation and ability to find landing places. What speed does your boat go with steady rowing? I am guessing 5-6 mph? Looks like you have spoon blades. I have C2 comp sculling blades they may grab too much water...
Dude, what an awesome trip. Im from Vancouver and have never been north of Desolation Sound. After seeing your trip I would love to check out the central coast. Thank you for sharing man.
Absolutely incredible, amigo
Thank you! Your podcasts are inspiring, as well as the helpful suggestions!
Wow! I can't imagine doing this alone. The phrase "backwards and in heels" keeps popping into mind.

Certainly never the same.
Love the video and narrative. What a great adventure! Thanks so much for sharing .
That's very kind, thanks for following the story!
Loved seeing more of how you row in different conditions in this one. And hearing the whales…thrilling! Plus 12 days with no human interactions…😮
The northern part is so remote, even more than Alaska. There were two days without marine weather radio reception and that felt especially lonely.
This is great. I assume you have a forward facing mirror on the camera mount aft?

I use Macon blades which are smaller for slightly less resistance.

I had no idea how special that part of BC is. So absolutely, go see for yourself!
